The expression in A is equal to:
y = 8 + 3x
It can be observed that the equation is in the slope-intercept form which is equal to,
y = mx + b
where m is slope and b is intercept.
The slope and intercept therefore of this equation of the line are equal to 3 and 8, respectively.
For Part B:
The slope of the line can be calculated through the equation,
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Substituting,
m = (5 - 2)/ (0 - -1) = 1.5
The intercept, b, is the value of y when x = 0. From the tabulation, y = 5 when x = 0. Thus, the intercept is equal to 5.
Comparing the slopes and intercepts of the equations, we can say that the slope of the second is only half that of the first and the intercept of the second is 3 less than that of the first equation.
You're adding .4 each time.
A.
In the first generation we have 2 ancestors.
In the second generation we have 4 ancestors or

ancestors.
In the third generation we have 8 ancestors ot

ancestors.
We can see that each succesive generation has two times more members. The sum is:

To calculate number of ancestors we can use formula <span>for the sum of a geometric sequence. Geometric sequence is sequence of numbers that differ by a certain factor. This factor is called ratio. Formula is:
</span>

<span>Where:
S -> sum
a1 -> first member of a sequence
r -> ratio
n -> number of elements
For this question:
a1 = 2
r = 2
n = 40
</span>

<span>
b.
1 generation = 25 years
40 generations = 40 * 25 = 1000 years
c.
Total number of people who have ever lived = </span>

Number of ancestors in 40 generations =

The number of ancestors is greater than total number of people who have ever lived. This means that not all ancestors were distinct and that in each generation both men and women had children with more than one partner.
